Examining the small wooden house in the distance Astrick felt a great urge to enter the place no matter what, he couldn't comprehend the reason behind that feeling... But it was too strong as it felt like he needs to leave anything he was doing at the moment and rush inside immediately...
If that wasn't the case he would've taken his time to catch his breath and relax after that terrifying experience, but instead of doing that, he was walking slowly towards the house with a bitter expression on his face...
He knew this was probably a bad idea, but the feeling and the urge inside of him were simply too strong to resist... He couldn't help but move his legs towards the house despite his doubts and suspicions.
After reaching the front of the house's door he slowly used his hand to unlock the door. A sound of creaking was heard as Astrick slowly opened the door gradually revealing whatever was calling him inside this entire time...
Though Astrick didn't know what to expect from this house, he certainly wasn't expecting what he was seeing right now...
Right in front of him, inside the small wooden house, the floor and ceiling as well as the walls which were supposed to be made of oak wood were completely purple...
No, not just the house's structure, everything inside the house was completely purple, from the house's furniture to the walls and floor, literally everything... And it wasn't like it was painted in purple or anything like that.
It was as if everything was originally in that colour and no other, it felt so weird looking at everything with a different colour than their original colours...
But this wasn't the only reason behind Astrick's confused and astonished look, because something scarier and weirder than the changed colours was going on inside that house...
Instead of a small place with some decent furniture inside, the house seemed to extend endlessly as it had so many rooms inside as well as stairs here and there even though it was a one-floor type of house.
The house felt more like a maze than an actual house and sort of had one of these horror games structures as it was so confusing alongside with its colours and the way it looked made sweat drip down Astrick's forehead...
Taking a deep breath after swallowing his saliva, Astrick took a hesitant step forward, and before he could take two steps away, the door suddenly got shut on itself scaring the sh*t out of him and almost giving him a heart attack...
After regaining his composure, Astrick took a few more steps forward before taking a little turn when seeing what appeared to be some paintings, moving towards a random painting, Astrick stood and tried to observe it, though the painting had no colour other than purple, Astrick could see the great art and dedication as well as the efforts put behind that one painting.
The painting itself wasn't much of an unusual thing as it was simple... But good painting for a war scene, showing the terrors of the battlefield and how common death is in the war.
After admiring the great art in the painting for a minute, Astrick went on to watch another one, and so he walked by towards the next one wondering what it'll be about...
Reaching its front, Astrick gasped in surprise as he didn't expect the greatness of the painting he was seeing right now...
The painting wasn't something as meaningful and deep as the first one, and it didn't have as many details, but yet it still had this charm that made the person's eye unable to get enough of it...
The painting seemed to take place in a throne room as shown through the big golden throne in the background, but of course none of that had any importance whatsoever as it was all just some details to add some beauty to the main thing...
Because right on the stairs leading towards the throne, a very beautiful and charming woman whose beauty can start wars between the heavens and hell, she was so beautiful to be considered a human, not that she was in the first place...
She had this long purple hair as well as her two beautiful purple eyes, even though the whole painting was in purple, Astrick somehow was able to recognize the real colours inside the painting, which he wasn't able to do with the last one...
But the woman, even with her human looks and features, was in no way a human as she had four demon horns sticking from the side of her head, the horns gave her this charm that'd make every man want nothing more than to rip her clothes apart and make her theirs...
Though she had the horns of a demon, she clearly wasn't one as the two blue and red (with tinges of black and white) angelic wings coming out of her back made that point very clear.
This, paired with her expression of pride and dignity made it hard for people to not fall on their knees and start worshipping her...
Even Astrick himself was feeling a bit of respect and admiration for this unknown woman as his heart started to beat faster in excitement...
Feeling something moving Astrick looked down at his private area sensing some twitching down there...
Even though there was no one besides him there he turned his head to the side in embarrassment as his cheeks turned red like tomatoes...
He didn't know what it was, but something about this woman made his heart bump so quickly to a dangerous level...
While he was lost in his thoughts and embarrassment, the painting he was just looking at, alongside every other painting in the room started to shine as the house started shaking as if there was some sort of an earthquake getting Astrick out of his weird thoughts...
All the stairs that were randomly thrown around the house started to move somehow without any sign of the house getting destroyed or broken...
The stairs all started assembling with each other creating a long and wide singular staircase leading to the second--non-existing from the outside--floor.
Looking forward to the staircase and then backwards to where the door was supposed to be, after taking a final glimpse at the painting as if he wanted to dig it deep into his memory, Astrick let out a long sigh as he moved his legs towards the staircase...
What other choice did he have...? His only way out was closed and his way forward was blocked by a wide chain of stairs leaving him no other choice but to walk them up...
